What's it all about?
EDF Energy is a Mandatory SEG Licensee
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a requirement on Licensees to offer an export tariff to eligible generators. It supports customers who are thinking of installing one of the following technology with a capacity up to 5MW, or up to 50kW for Micro-CHP:
- Solar photovoltaic (solar PV)
- Wind
- Micro combined heat and power (CHP)
- Hydro
- Anaerobic digestion (AD)
Customers also need a smart or half-hourly electricity meter.
We’ve created the Export+Earn plan to pay eligible customers for the energy they export. We will pay you a set rate of 3.5p (excl VAT) for each unit (or kWh) of electricity you export to the grid.
Our Export+Earn Plan
Signing up to this plan means you confirm you have:
- Installed generation capacity which consists of Anaerobic Digestion, PV, onshore wind and/or Hydro generation only and will only use these installations to export electricity as part of this agreement.
- An Export meter installed which is capable of recording readings at half-hourly intervals. If the meter is not capable of sending EDF Energy half-hourly readings automatically, you will provide actual readings from the export meter every quarter.
- Export meter readings and overall generation payment limits TIC of less than 5MW and a total heat and power (micro CHP) up to 50kw.
Applying for the Export+Earn plan
As part of the sign-up process, please get together the following documents:
- Accreditation certificates for the installations
- Supply details. Export meter serial number and if known your export MPAN number (if you don't have this we will need to register one for you)
- Name, address and bank details.
Once you've signed up. One of our team will be in touch to set you up and check any details.
Once registered on the plan we'll be in touch for the first export read if you're not set up to do this automatically. After this first read, it will then be quarterly until your plan ends.
Our Export+Earn Plan will run for 12 months. After this, the payments will stop unless you sign a new contract with us or another supplier.
